Canada's annualized inflation rate is expected to have held steady at 2 percent in October, in
line with the Bank of Canada's target, while the less-volatile core rate is forecast to edge up
to 2.2 percent. The markets will be watching the report for what it might mean for Bank of
Canada policy. However, the report is unlikely to change policymakers' cautious stance as the
central bank has said that the recent firming in inflation is largely due to temporary factors
(0830/1330).
Mexico's economy likely grew at a slower pace in the third quarter as domestic consumption
wobbled in Latin America's No. 2 economy. A Reuters poll forecasts that Mexican gross domestic
product in the third quarter likely grew 0.7 percent from the second quarter and 2.3 percent
from a year earlier. In the second quarter, the economy had expanded 1 percent from the prior
quarter and 1.6 percent from a year earlier. Services and construction could show some weakness,
but strong auto production has helped support industrial output. Still, the growth may be weak
enough to push the government to dial back its forecast of 2.7 percent annual growth this year
(0900/1400). Separately, the Mexican national statistics agency releases September monthly
economic activity index. Meanwhile, Argentina's government is due to release September economic
activity data (1400/1900).
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission will vote to propose new rules on 911 services and

Swiss bank Credit Suisse is scheduled to be sentenced for its role in helping Americans dodge
